301 Stainless Steel Market Analysis & Forecast 2025-2031;?>

Among all sheet metals steel is widely used in sheet metal fabrication in industries. 301 Stainless steel is a austenitic steel and its chemical composition contains 17% Chromium and 7% Nickel. 301 Stainless steel is modified 304 steel. In this Chromium and Nickel amount is reduced than 304 to obtain variety of cold work hardening range. In annealed condition it acts as non-magnetic but it becomes magnetic in cold work conditions. 301 possesses better corrosion resistance than 304. 301 steel does not get hard when exposed to heat. It can withstand temperature upto 1600⁰ F (810⁰ C). They contains weldability property. They possesses formability property but intermediate annealing is important in severe forming and drawing. They are very tough and ductile.  

Depending on product type 301 stainless steel is categorized into 4 types i.e. 301 Annealed, 301 1/4 Hard, 301 1/2 Hard and 301 Full Hard. ¼ hard steel is more ductile. It develops minimum tensile strength of 125000 PSI, yield strength of 75,000 PSI and elongation of 25% in 2 inches. ½ hard steel can have tensile strength of 150,000 PSI and yield strength of 110,000 PSI and elongation of 15-18% in 2 inches. ¾ hard can have tensile strength of 175,000 PSI and yield strength of 135,000 PSI and elongation of 10-12% in 2 inches. Full hard steel can have tensile strength of 185,000 PSI and yield strength of 140,000 PSI and elongation of 8-9% in 2 inches. Full hard steel possesses all mechanical properties and fatigueless desired for spring. 301 stainless steel is used in various applications including architectural cladding, handrails, drainage and water systems, wall support, roofing, and structures and fixing. It is used to make structural parts of aircrafts, trailer bodies and conveyor parts.
